Hi all,

It maybe controversial as we all like new features, but I feel that BMD have done a great job in adding so much into DR15 already that I would prefer if BMD stopped adding any more features at all [even ones that I would like!] and ONLY did bug fixes from now on.
I imagine that some may disagree that they 'only want XX or YY' small thing but it seems that there has already been so much added that would add great value to so many (me included) that it is time to stop adding features and just make everything that is there work properly and reliably.
I know that the two aren't mutually exclusive but any software development only has so much resources and it has been a fair time now - time to get DR15 in fully released form I feel.

I am speaking as someone who has tried DR15 but as well as the issues that I have experienced, it seems to me there are too many bug reports still going on [even with beta 7] that I am still sticking with DR14 for real projects.

Tom

I disagree in as much as the Fusion integration is incomplete (even for a first release) and the Fairlight page still has some rough edges. Now, you could call these bugs and table them for fixing - then we'd be in agreement. I have confidence that the BMD team will strike the right balance in the next couple of months - maybe sooner.
